SCS F-5 with BFG KM2 285/75/16

 

This makes me miss my '03...

 

Dude! Lookin' nice man!!

I really like those 285's! Keep up the good work.

 

The new wheels look great! Time for another wheelin trip!

 

Thanks!

Thanks and I'm itching to get out too.

 

A must-do mod for any 1st gen Tacoma with poor brakes.
Tundra 13WL caliper swap

 

Love those F-5s. Wish you offered 'em in a 17

 

I like my 15'' rims thank you very much haha tho nicer brakes would be nice..

 

Thanks John. If things go well for us, it could be a possibility in the future.

 

Hopin' they do my man. I can now say first hand that you provide a top quality product. If those in the market have any sense, you'll do just fine

 

But I've got form and function now. Monte, if you ever want a set, let me know. It's time for me to pay you back.

 

subbed' for an awesome truck. what kinda prep and paint did you use for the fender flairs? and what do the new bump stops do different than stock

 

Thanks Derek. For the flares, I just used very fine sand paper(for the grit) to smooth everything out and shot a few coats of primer made for plastic. Once everything dried up, I laid a few nice even coats of semi-gloss black. It really brought the look of the truck back to life. The taller bump stop was added for a couple of different reasons. I went with a taller than stock rear shock so it helps compensate for a compressed shock length that's greater than the actual compression dimension. It also helps cushion if I were to bottom out.

how are you liking the tundra brakes . mine are starting to get spongy and I am thinking of going this route

 

I love the Tundra caliper upgrade. I wish I had done this as the first mod. It's well worth the investment.

 

It's been a good while since I've updated this thread. I'm about to hit 245k miles any day now.

A couple of months ago I ordered a tube bumper from Addicted Offroads. I made a special request to customize the stinger to my liking. They offer a square and pointed style stinger, but I wanted something in between and made a drawing for them to go off of. I don't think they were too happy to do it, but they made it happen and I'm very pleased with the results.

My brother helped me with the test fitting and once we got everything all squared off, he welded up their bumper crossmember. It's going to Jerry at BAMF in a couple of days to get powder coated

The Addicted bumper weighs roughly 63lbs.

The stock bumper removed


The stock crossmember removed and extension cut and ground down.


New extension tacked for test fitting then welded




The new crossmember slips over the extensions and is welded into place.

We bolted the bumper back on to get one final look.

 

I like the stinger!

 

Looking good man!
